Read all safety
warnings and instructions!
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury . Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference .
The “term power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool .
WARNING:
Risk of fire and
electric shock. Dry location use only. Do
not expose to rain. Risk of injury.
WORk AREA SAFETy
1 .
keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents .
2 .
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks that may ignite the dust
or fumes .
3 .
keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control .
ELECTRICAL SAFETy
1 .
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way .
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools . Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock .
2 .
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded .
3 .
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock .
4 .
Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool . keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts . Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock .
5 .
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock .
6 .
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock .
PERSONAL SAFETy
1 .
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury .
2 . U
se personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection . Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection,
used for appropriate conditions, will reduce
personal injuries .
3 .
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure
that the switch is in the off-position before
connecting the tool to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool .
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents .
4 .
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury .
5 .
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times . This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations .
